FreeflyIndian 0 #1 July 31, 2008 Wondering what jump prices are like around the world and if they're climbing along with the oil price? At the begining of 2007 we were paying R150 (about US$20) to 9000ft , as of this weekend it goes up to R220 (about US$30) to 9000ft. What's it like elsewhere?

AggieDave 6 #3 July 31, 2008 Most of TX is right around $22 for altitude and around $15-17 for hop-n-pops.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knows its stupid cheap there and every time it shows up, it makes people feel even shittier about the prices they have to pay at home. Like the people at Lodi want to stick it to everyone else and show how much "better" they are.

freeflyimpaired 0 #5 July 31, 2008 I would be pretty suprised to find a DZ that is only charging $20 to altitude today. I think $22 is probably about the cheapest around with 24 or 25 quickly becoming the average. Eloy has been at $25 to 13.5K for a few months now.

timefighter 0 #13 July 31, 2008 You guys are lucky. Here in the UK it's £19 per jump (when buying tickets in bulk - 10 tickets @ £190) at Weston, which is $38 USD per jump, to 12K. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many theories and only Bill and Kathy know what is the real truth but he is proud to have the most inexpensive dropzone and he is not greedy. That is why he is consitantly serving 200+ tandem customers per saturday, as well as plenty of fun jumpers.

Like the people at Lodi want to stick it to everyone else and show how much "better" they are. Just frustrating. I'm not from Lodi but lucky enough to get up there a few times a year. Lodi has very nice people there and none of them want to "stick" it to anybody about what they have. That stick you are feeling shittier about is a result of issues local to your dropzone(s), you should remember that. A dropzone local to me went to $25 at the first of the year. Then a few months later to $26, then a week later to $27. 8000' jumps became $24 bucks. Can't blame Lodi for that! Maybe we can all blame skyride.

mustard 0 #24 August 3, 2008 Quote$20- 3500' $25- 4500' $30- 7500' $35- 10000' I just went to Abbotsford, BC, Canada for a boogie today (Saturday) and paid $111 CAD (about $110 USD) for three jumps. This was just accepted by the participants -- even though the jumps are cheaper in the US, there is that pesky border crossing to deal with whenever you go. It took 2 minutes to enter Canada, and 1 hour to leave. But I'll be back tomorrow. If it were not a holiday weekend in Canada, I could have stayed in a hotel overnight, but I waited too long. *** DJan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
